Smokey Eye Makeup

Sonia Kashuk's 'Instant Smoke Stick' is Both Eye Shadow and Liner

They say that the eyes are the windows to the soul, and with the 'Instant Smoke Stick' from Sonia Kashuk, those windows are liable to steam up. The two-in-one makeup stick offers eye shadow and liner, making it a convenient product to add to one's makeup arsenal.

The shadow end of the Instant Smoke Stick is a roller that wearers can swipe across their lids and then blend in manually. On the other end, the precise liner pen can add definition or be used on its own. In concert, the two side of the stick can be used for "everything from a dramatic smoky eye to a precise cat-eye in seconds."

Beyond the dual functionality, the product is made with a durable formula that lasts up to 24 hours per application.
